Eight members of my family have just spent an amazing Easter at Wendy and Brendan's lovely home. There was something for everyone. Their generosity in making scooters and boogie boards available, as well as Lego and table tennis, meant the children were on top of the world all weekend. As well, we could easily go to the beautiful beach for regular swims in the surf. Four of us were adults who love good coffee and the nearby coffee shop did us proud. We took our bikes, and rode around the 9km Waikareao Estuary twice, which thrilled the children. The house is perfect for a family, with it's white and bright kitchen/dining opening completely onto the deck. We loved the outdoor table - a nice change from the usual! And the two trampolines kept the kids constantly busy. Our Easter egg hunt was perfect there. Thanks so much Wendy and Brendan for offering your home to us. We all loved it.
